RHBA-2009:1477 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated java-1.5.0-ibm packages that fix an issue regarding included
documentation are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Extras.

Description

IBM's 1.5.0 Java release includes the IBM Java 2 Runtime Environment and
the IBM Java 2 Software Development Kit.

These updated packages address the following issue:

• the java-1.5.0-ibm packages were found to not install required Copyright

and Notices files where they were expected to. This failure was initially
attributed to changes made consequent to the re-packaging of IBM's original
tarballs as RPM packages. Further investigation found some of these files
were, in fact, present but had been moved to comply with the SELinux
requirements for file locations. Other files were, in fact, missing. These
updated packages move the documentation to the base installation package,
ensuring all these files are included, as required, even in a minimum
installation. (BZ#525461)

All users of java-1.5.0-ibm are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages, which resolves this issue.
